Chapter 145 The Disappearance of Him
Xin Jue requested an audience with his master.
Xin Jue requested an audience with his master.
Xin Jue called out a few times from outside the door, but there was no response from inside, so he had no choice but to go forward and open the door.
"Xin Jue is being extremely abrupt."
After entering the room, Xin Jue glanced around and saw that no one was there. He then walked straight in one direction. Li Lianhua and the others had never been to this place before, so they had no choice but to follow Xin Jue inside.
"Where did all the things go?"
Xin Jue looked around and saw that all the boxes in the room had been overturned on the ground, and everything inside had disappeared.
What kind of room is this?
Li Lianhua was very curious. Why did they come here directly? Could it be that the things here were more important than Yu Louchun's life?
"This is the master's secret treasure room, but now it has all been emptied by others."
They ransacked the place so thoroughly, not a single silver ingot was left. Are burglaries really this brazen now?
Fang Duobing noticed that some of the scattered pieces of cloth in Yulouchun's treasure room were the same material and pattern as the cloth in Princess Nanyin's place, and guessed that the thieves might be after the ice shards.
Xin Jue was furious. He raised his sword and questioned the men who had come with him: "Tell me, where were you all last night?"
“Every guest was sleeping in their own room last night. Where else could they go but dream?”
"Where were Guard Xin and the other guards last night?"
“The guards could not have entered the women’s residence without orders. I also went to sleep outside the courtyard at midnight last night, and the guards can testify to that.”
That means no one is a suspect.
Xin Jue suddenly remembered that Fang Duobing had said he had something to discuss with his master last night, but unfortunately his master had already gone up Kan Yunfeng.
"Young Master Fang, what brought you to the foot of Kanyun Peak last night?"
“Your master has abducted a young woman and imprisoned her here, so I, Xing Tan of Baichuan Courtyard, have come to interrogate him.”
Regardless of the ultimate goal, as long as it has an applicable purpose, then it is the goal.
"But it's not normal that you secretly inquired about whether there were any treasures on the mountain yesterday, is it?"
Xin Jue: What a lame excuse, who would believe it?
"Where is Guard Xin? He rushed in to look for the treasure right away. That doesn't seem quite right either, does it?"
Li Lianhua also wanted to see why this was.
Xin Jue: I should have believed it just now.
A silent atmosphere spread around them, and those who were not suspects just moments before immediately became suspicious.
A guard ran in, breaking the atmosphere.
"We found one of the master's legs outside, and we also cornered someone hiding in the cave in the maple forest."
"Order the guards to watch over the drawbridge and forbid anyone from leaving."
"Yes."
So the group hurriedly followed the guards to the outside of the Maple Forest Grottoes.
"People inside, come out."
. . . . . .
"If you don't come out soon, we'll set a fire to smoke you out."
. . . . . .
Still no response.
"Light the fire, burn it."
Xin Jue gave a direct order: no one knows who is inside the grotto, but if the murderer who killed the master is hiding inside, then they must be captured.
"Hey, don't burn it, don't burn it."
A clear, crisp female voice came from inside, and a short while later, a slender figure slowly walked out.
The moment she took off her cap, everyone could see her face clearly.
"Miss Qing'er?"
Looking at Qing'er, dressed in men's clothing and covered in dirt, some of the people couldn't believe it.
"Where is the master?"
"Yu Lou Chun? How would I know? Aren't you a guard?"
"Where is the treasure you stole from the master's room?"
This is what Xin Jue cares about most.
"What treasure? You're confusing me."
At this moment, Qing'er, who had been hiding in the cave all night, had no idea what was happening outside.
"You're hiding here suspiciously, pretending to be confused and trying to get away with it."
